Jessica finds herself flung into a world she has little concept of. Everything is strange and new to her, but worst of all she cannot communicate with the native inhabitants. A world of monsters and sapient ponies, griffons and other assorted beasts is no place for a human girl.

How will Jessica cope? Without an understanding of their language how will she make her way in the world, will she even be able to ever communicate with them? Why was she even brought into the world and is there even a way for her to get home?

(Also now apparently has a Tv Tropes page in the making. )

Now has a re-telling in progress focusing on the Equestrians' side of things, A Stranger Among the Voices

Hollow Shades is a small farming and lumberjacking community, a tiny bubble of Equestria smack in the middle of the Everfree Forest. Things have been hard-going since the lumber mill was closed down by its aristocratic owner, and the town is slowly dying. The fate of the town weighs heavily even on the town's youth, with young filly Corn Crib of the Harvests being intimately aware of the fact things aren't going well for her family and friends. And then, a ray of hope comes into her life when she encounters a most unusual figure on the road nearby; a talking scarecrow, one that claims to be Lord Barleycorn, the King of Autumn, who promises to help her however he can. Can the two of them succeed in breathing life back into Hollow Shades?

This is a lighthearted story that contains lots of OCs and an original setting. The mane six will appear, but not until later chapters.

First time featured was May 23, 2014! I can't believe it! Thank you everyone! =3
Now with its own TVTropes page!
Picture was made by my friend Escopeto. He did a fantastic job of representing my story.

Three hundred years ago, Equestria tried to assimilate Earth.
They failed. They fled, rather than face justice.
We moved on. We conquered the stars, we made a civilization that spans across the infinite void. We built true harmony between species.
We thought we'd seen the last of Celestia, but as a desperate mobile colony on the fringes of known space came to discover, we were wrong.

It is time to finish what was started by our forefathers.

Based on TCB: Not Alone, by Starman Ghost.

EDIT: Following Starman Ghost's deleting of Not Alone, I've replaced the above link with one leading to a PDF file uploaded to mediafire.

EDIT (14/04/2014): The character of Evening Star was originally created by Starman Ghost. I am using her without his permission.

Time changes everything. Old friends leave us and new ones come into our lives. Now that Equestria and the other nations have been exposed to the galaxy at large, things are changing. Here are a few stories of how.

The following is a collection of one shots and short stories to bridge the gap between "Of War and Friendship" and the next big adventure as well as an outlet for random story ideas.

A haze of memories of things thought to be fantasy and fiction.

A physical world so real that every breath drawn is another step towards death.

Which one do you believe?

Princess Luna, Mistress of the Moon, co-ruler of Equestria, is utterly bored, and tired of dealing with the bureaucracy. When she happens upon an uncompleted spell that promises access to other worlds, she finds a project that engages her as seldom before. Yet, some worlds are not so pleasant and safe as Equestria, and Luna is about to find out how denizens of one of the more dangerous realms entertain themselves as she is thrust into a bloodsport like no other.

The Tournament awaits.

A crossover with Unreal Tournament, specifically UT2k4, which I've come to regard as my personal favorite of the series.
There is some gore, but nothing worse than your usual FPS game made in the last 10 years or so. Rated Teen for that, and some foul language. (Because it wouldn't be UT without the smacktalk.)

Consider this as the soundtrack. Because that's exactly what it is.for Deck 17. So, freakin' EPIC.

Cover art commissioned from Atryl, who is a demigod of Art. Seriously, he's awesome. Go throw money at him.

A prince is called to action to save his people's home, a land forever scarred by the battles of ages past against the one they know as the Trickster; to the Equestrians, they know his descendant as Discord. His legacy stretches far back into time, where the first rulers of the humans first brought their own tools to bear against his nightmarish reign of old and banished him to the depths of the void, but only now are his seals truly beginning to weaken. With the second release and re-imprisonment of Discord, it sets off a series of events that threaten to swallow the humans' Renascent Empire whole and turn their legacy into another dark age. With limited options, the prince turns to their heralded saviors of the sun and moon to aid them in their quest in the hopes that they can end the threat, once and for all.

Not so long ago, Equestria barely defeated two almost unstoppable creatures known as humans, which they called the Second and the First. Almost five years later, another one has shown up. The military takes up arms, the princesses are stricken with fear, and the Elements of Harmony assemble, ready for battle. But 'the Third' has no idea what's going on, and only wants to know how he came to be here, and how to get back home. Good questions indeed...But will he ever get his answers? Or will his predecessors' legacy catch up to him first?

“Side story/prequel to Human by DannyJ, but can be read on its own. Contains spoilers.”

What happens, happens. I think that is one of the rules of Causality as stated by the late, great Douglas Adams. It is a pretty important rule and I use it to guide me through life, no matter what goes on in it. So, when I was driving to an out of town job and found myself in another world, I did my best to take everything in stride.

I would be the first to say the adjustment is not easy. Especially, when the first thing you do is make yourself a pony distrusted, disliked and defamed by some national heros. Thinking about that, I think I have to invoke another Douglas Adams quote. "Don't Panic."

This is the result of me getting bored one day and starting writing. Now that I got a bit of it done, I wouldn't mind honest opinions, and flame away if you feel the need. I have thick skin.

As you might notice, there are a few chapters with a box at the top. These are the ones that my editor and I went through again, and hopefully improved. I'll refrain from changing plot but spelling, grammar and flow are all up for grab. Especially for the early chapters.

Chris and Keon are two zoology majors that get separated from their class after following what Chris believed to be an undiscovered species of bird, during a trip into the Amazon rainforest.

Finding themselves stuck in a pit, they discover an ancient ruin adorned with murals and statues of what they believed to be ponies. They soon realize that the bird in question was the orchestrator of their fate, as they’re brought to what they are certain is their deaths.

Waking up, they are not only separated from each other, but in a new land entirely. Will they take this opportunity to learn about creatures only ever seen in legend, or will they be too busy being studied themselves?

Rated teen for sexual themes, crude humor, mild drug use.
